Victor 9mm carbine

How much of the thread is protruding past the handguard on the 9mm?

I'm getting ready to install a Kaw Valley ASR Muzzle brake and not sure if I will need a barrel extension.

You should be fine. Shoulder is right at edge of handguard. If you zoom in on my pick you can see my crush washer on the shoulder.

Thank you for this. The blast diverter is a little misleading. It must go over the shoulder a bit.

Yes very misleading. The barrel goes very deep into the blast diverter. WITH THE FIREARM CLEAR! you can look into the diverter with a light and see the muzzle end. I was actually very surprised how small the actual blast chamber is.

I appreciate this information. Looks like I have everything I need.

The blast diverter is tucked inside handguard.

Why would you need a barrel extension? You're just replacing the blast diverter with a brake.

Appreciate the comments here. Grim Jeeper was right, removing the handguard and clamping the carbine in a gun vise allowed me to remove the blast diverter relativey easily with a wrench. Also, just wanted to provide a photo of the shoulder and threads exposed should anyone need it in the future.
